Fear of the dentist

Fear of the dentist is very common; often this phobia causes one to reschedule important checkups and treatments, thus aggravating one's health status.
Those suffering from an acute form of dentophobia will certainly have experienced feelings during dental visits that are manifested by states of panic accompanied by tachycardia, sweating, and nausea. Only a very small percentage of people are affected by this most severe form of dentophobia, but at the same time there is a very significant number of people who are afraid to go to the dentist for a wide variety of reasons: fear of the anesthesia needle, feeling of suffocation during treatment or while taking impressions, very low pain threshold, traumatic experiences suffered as a child.
The difficulty of making it to the dentist can over time have negative effects on people's health; the state of tissue health worsens leading to tooth loss, persistent pain, bad breath, decreased self-confidence due to a dental appearance that is no longer "pleasing."
A beautiful smile is the best calling card we can show when we present ourselves, which is why today we can overcome dentist phobia thanks to conscious sedation.
